Each grief support session will explore issues relevant to parents experiencing grief while also allowing time for open discussion. Parents will be provided with an opportunity to talk about their child and their family’s story and share their feelings, thoughts, and concerns. Parents are welcome to participate as they feel comfortable; however, there is NO pressure to talk during the group session.
